Hints and Tips (Hotkeys Editor)
The toolbar Save button has additional three commands (not included in the File menu) enable you to save the hotkeys in three modes.

- Save Command As Text:
e.g. CA+C=cm_CopyFullNamesToClip
- Save Command As Decimal:
e.g. CA+C=2018
- Save Command As Hexadecimal:
e.g. CA+C=$7E2
When you select one from this list it will be the default mode for Save button and you don't have to dropdown this list again. The save button will marked (optionally) with the save mode as follow:
- Red character T for text mode.
- Red character D for decimal mode.
- Red character H for hexadecimal mode.
Beginning of version 5.50, the option Use ContextMenu key instead of Alt key has been removed from the options dialog box but you can still activate it manually as follow:
- Open the program INI file "ultra tc editors.ini"
- Create the key UseContextMenuKey under [HotkeysEditor] section, set its value to 1.
Press Right Arrow key while the dropdown key list is activated to show a special window that contain all keys list but without scroll bar, So it is easily to select any key you want.
You can change this window height and width via KeysListHeight and KeysListWidth in the program INI file.
You can customize the dropdown key list as follow:
- Open the program INI file "ultra tc editors.ini"
- Create the key KeysList under [HotkeysEditor] section, define your desired list.
The default value is:
KeysList=F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7,F8,F9,F10,F11,F12, A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,Ins,Del,Home,End, PgUp,PgDn,Space,Back,Tab,+,-,*,/,Enter,Esc,Left,Right,Up,Down
You are allowed to change keys sequence or letter case, but NEVER translating, deleting or adding new keys.
Press Escape or Backspace to clear Control, Alt and Shift checkbox at once.
Press Insert key instead of Enter to assign another hotkey or alias to the same command.
Press Ctrl+Tab to switch between hotkey mode and alias mode.
The default undefined hotkey string is "---", if you want to change this:
- Run any text editor program (e.g. Notepad) and open the program INI file "ultra tc editors.ini"
- Create the key UndefinedHotkey under [HotkeysEditor] section.
- Set the key UndefinedHotkey value to your desired string.
(it must be at least one character but not space)
The default multi hotkey separator string is "=", if you want to change this:
- Run any text editor program (e.g. Notepad) and open the program INI file "ultra tc editors.ini"
- Create the key MultiHotkeySeparator under [HotkeysEditor] section.
- Set the key MultiHotkeySeparator value to your desired string.
(it must be at least one character but not space)
Be sure that Start Menu Editor and Hotkeys Editor are not running at the same time, because when the two programs start, they read shared settings in Wincmd.ini file; therefore, changing these shared settings within one program, the other program will not recognize the changes and will continue using the old settings, which read it at start up and this could cause unpredicted errors.
